KIU! September Challenge

As I said, August was really a slack month for me in regards to scrapbooking. So I'm making up for it this month. This is my take on the challenge over at http://kraftitup.blogspot.com.au/


When I first saw this I thought that it would be easy-peasy......but no! it was a bit trickier that I first thought. I've had a bit of trouble bringing myself to scrap pics of my DS, mainly because I miss him so much & because I'm a sook I tend to shed a few tears every time I see his photo. I am so dang proud of him. However, I bit the bullet & scrapped a photo from his farewell party. I'm not quite happy with the way it turned out but at least it was progress so now hopefully I'll be able to go ahead & scrap a few more pages of his departure...sob :(


And a closie:

The lovely button is from Purple Pumpkin & the doily is from Tattered Inspirations.

    1. Aww thanks for your kind comments Mary, cause I know that you know how it feels. Although 3 months is way too long not to see your child :( I'm counting the days until November.
